Protecting your Yahoo account from hackers and other unauthorized access is crucial to ensure the confidentiality of your business email and login credentials. One common way to strengthen your account security is to change your Yahoo password regularly. However, it's not enough to merely change your password -- you should also change your Yahoo security question on a regular basis as well. Yahoo will ask the security question if you forget your password. You can change the security question from within your Yahoo account.

Step 1

Navigate to the Yahoo website and sign in to your account.

Step 2

Place your mouse cursor over your name at the top of the page and click "Account Info" from the pop-up menu.

Step 3

Enter your Yahoo password again to verify your identity.

Step 4

Step 5

Click "Change Questions and Answers."

Step 6

Select a generic question from the "Security Question 1" drop-down field or choose "Create Your Own Question" to create your own security question. The question must be between five and 100 alphanumeric characters in length and is not case-sensitive.

Step 7

Type your answer in the "Answer" field. Your answer must be between four and 32 alphanumeric characters and is not case-sensitive.

Step 8

Repeat this process for the "Security Question 2" and "Answer" fields.

Step 9

Click "Save" and then click "Done" to save your changes.

Tip

If you create your own security question, the question cannot contain the answer as part of it. In addition, the two questions and answers cannot be the same.
